Left my favorite poetry book when I left home for the holiday. It's probably at my friend's house where I left my car (which has a flat tire).
That's why I haven't done my Poetry Like Bread post in a while.
Enjoy this poem by Martin Espada though!!!

The Immigration Law poem by Margaret Randall is longer. Above in just an excerpt, a small piece of it. I will post more from it in the future.

An image containing he first stanza from the poem La Tumba de Buenaventura Roig by Martin Espada La Tumba de Buenaventura Roig “The Grave of Buenaventura Roig” By Martin Espada Dedicated to his great-grandfather Who died in 1941 Buenaventura Roig, once peasants in the thousands streamed down hillsides to witness the great eclipse of your funeral. Now your bones have drifted with the tide of steep grass, sunken in the chaos of weeds bent and suffering like canecutters in the sun. The drunken caretaker cannot find the grave, squinting at your name, spitting as he stumbles between the white Christs with hands raised sowing their field of white crosses.
It's Poetry Like Bread time! Here is a poem by Martin Espada who is a multi award winning poet with roots in Puerto Rico. His work consists of beautiful and tragic stories of humanity, social injustice and the travails of working people. Sound familiar? #PoetryLikeBread #MartinEspada #booksky
